DUBAI – Individuals involved in forging visas and other important documents have been strictly wanted against the act with threats of stern punishment.
The Dubai Public Prosecution has clarified that those who are found forging documents can face up to ten years of sentence.
“Anyone who has forged a visa, residence permit, or any official document issued on the basis of this visa or permits, with the intention of evading the provisions of the law, shall be punished with imprisonment for a period not exceeding 10 years,” the Dubai Public Prosecution said via a post on X, previously known as Twitter.
“The same penalty shall be imposed on whoever uses any forged document, referred in this article, knowing that it is forged,” the department stated.
The announcement comes as the department is ramping up efforts to uphold the integrity of the immigration system and prevent fraudulent activities.
Millions of people visit Dubai each year due to its multiple attractions but a few are also involved in forging visas documents; however, the strict warning by the department and 10-year jail sentence is sure to deter many potential fraudulents to avoid indulging in any dubious activity.
